    Big news for the Rams, who have agreed to terms with WR Allen Robinson, source confirms multiple reports. This is a big twist and a high-caliber add to their WRs room. Several teams were interested in Robinson.
    I am also told this move does NOT mean the Rams don’t also want to re-sign Beckham. That deal is tricky and may take some time to work out considering injury and eventual return timeline.

    Imagine the Rams going five wide like this…
    Cooper Kupp
    Robert Woods
    Odell Beckham, Jr.
    Allen Robinson
    Van Jefferson

    Professional career[edit]

    Coming out of Penn State, Robinson was projected by the majority of analysts and scouts to be a first-to-third round draft selection. NFLDraftScout.com ranked him as the sixth best wide receiver and the 34th overall prospect, while Sports Illustrated ranked him seventh among wide receivers.[39] He was invited to the 2014 NFL Combine and completed the majority of workouts, but elected not to perform the bench press. Robinson participated at Penn State’s Pro Day and decided to perform all the drills except the bench and shuttle and was able to improve on all of his combine numbers.[40]

    Jacksonville Jaguars[edit]

    2014
    The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Robinson in the second round with the 61st overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.[42] He was the 11th wide receiver selected and the second receiver drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2014, behind Marqise Lee who was selected in the second round at 39th overall. In addition, Robinson was one of three Penn State Nittany Lions to be selected that year.[43] On June 21, 2014, the Jaguars signed Robinson to a four-year, $3.51 million contract that included $1.17 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $877,718.[44]

    Robinson opened the regular season as the fourth wide receiver behind Marqise Lee, Cecil Shorts, and fellow rookie Allen Hurns.[45][46] In the Jaguars’ season opener on September 7, he caught his first career pass from Chad Henne for no gain in a 34–17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.[47] On September 14, he had four receptions for 75 receiving yards in the 41–10 loss to the Washington Redskins.[48] On September 21, he earned his first career start and caught seven passes for 79 receiving yards in a 44–17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3.[49] On October 12, he caught a season-high eight passes for 68 receiving yards in a 14–16 loss to the Tennessee Titans.[50] The following week, Robinson caught his first touchdown from fellow rookie Blake Bortles during a 24–6 victory over the Cleveland Browns[51] to help the Jacksonville Jaguars end a nine-game losing streak.[52] On October 26, he had five receptions for 82 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown in the 27–13 loss to the Miami Dolphins.[53] On November 9, he had five receptions for 60 receiving yards in a 31–17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.[54] The game against the Cowboys was Robinson’s last game in the 2014 season where he recorded any meaningful statistics due to a stress fracture in his right foot.[55]

    Robinson finished his rookie season with 48 receptions for 548 receiving yards and two touchdowns while starting eight games and playing in ten.[56]

    2015
    The following season, Robinson was named one of the regular season starters, along with fellow second-year player Allen Hurns.[57]

    In the season opener, he caught one pass for 27 receiving yards in a 9–20 loss to the Carolina Panthers.[58] The next game, Robinson caught six passes for a season-high 155 receiving yards and scored two receiving touchdowns during a 23–20 victory over the Miami Dolphins[59] On October 11, he had seven receptions for 72 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns in the 38–31 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.[60] In the next game on October 18, he had six receptions for 86 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown in the 31–20 loss to the Houston Texans.[61] The next week, he had six receptions for 98 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown in a 34–31 victory over the Buffalo Bills.[62] On November 8, he had six receptions for 121 receiving yards in the 28–23 victory over the New York Jets.[63] On November 19, he had five receptions for 113 receiving yards in a 19–13 victory over the Tennessee Titans.[64] On December 20, Robinson caught a season-high 10 receptions for 153 receiving yards and a season-high three receiving touchdowns during a 39–42 loss to the Tennessee Titans.[65] On December 27, he had six receptions for 151 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown in the 38–27 loss to the New Orleans Saints. His receiving touchdown in the game was a 90-yard reception, which was the longest in the NFL for the 2015 season and the longest play from scrimmage in franchise history.[66][67][68] In the regular season finale on January 3, 2016, he had five receptions for 108 receiving yards in a 30–6 loss to the Houston Texans as the Jaguars finished with a 5–11 record.[69][70]

    Robinson finished his second season with 80 receptions for 1,400 receiving yards and 14 touchdown receptions.[71] He led the Jaguars in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns during the 2015 season and was the first Jaguars’ receiver since Jimmy Smith in 2005 to have over 1,000 receiving yards in a single season.[49] Robinson recorded the second-most receiving yards in a season in franchise history at the time.[72] He, along with Doug Baldwin and Brandon Marshall, tied for the league lead in receiving touchdowns with 14.[73] He was the first player in franchise history to be a league leader in receiving touchdowns in a single season.[74]

    Robinson was named as a first alternate to the 2016 Pro Bowl and replaced Calvin Johnson, who was unable to participate due to injury.[75] He was ranked 31st by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2016.[76]

    After Robinson and Hurns both had breakout seasons in 2015 with over 60 receptions, 1,000 receiving yards, and 10 touchdown receptions each, they were nicknamed “Thunder and Lightning” and “The Allen Brothers”.[77][78]

    2016
    In the Jaguars’ season-opener against the Green Bay Packers, Robinson caught six passes for 72 receiving yards in a 23–27 loss.[79] On September 25, he made seven receptions for 57 receiving yards, and caught his first two touchdowns of the season during a 17–19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.[80] During a Week 10 matchup against AFC South rival Houston, Robinson had a nine receptions, 107 receiving yards, and a receiving touchdown during the 21–24 loss.[81] The victory over the Texans was Robinson’s first game of the season eclipsing 100 receiving yards. On Christmas Eve, he bounced back and caught nine passes for a season-high 147 receiving yards in a 38–17 victory over their division rival Tennessee Titans.[82]

    The Jacksonville Jaguars finished the season with a dismal 3–13 record and head coach Gus Bradley was fired after Week 15. Interim head coach Doug Marrone was hired on January 9, 2017.[49] Robinson finished the 2016 season with 73 receptions for 883 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns.[83]

    2017
    During Week 1 against the Houston Texans, Robinson had one reception for 17 yards but had to leave the game early in the first quarter with an apparent knee injury.[84] Hours later, it was confirmed that his left knee was diagnosed with a torn ACL, which prematurely ended his 2017 season.[85] He was placed on injured reserve on September 12, 2017.[86]

    Chicago Bears[edit]

    2018
    On March 14, 2018, Robinson signed a three-year, $42 million contract with the Chicago Bears.[87][88] He was part of a position group that contained Taylor Gabriel, Anthony Miller, and Josh Bellamy.[89] He made his Bears debut in the season opener against the Green Bay Packers on NBC Sunday Night Football, recording a team-high 61 yards.[90] The next week, he brought in a season-high 10 receptions for 83 yards in a 24–17 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football.[91] On September 30, he scored his first receiving touchdown with the Bears on a 14-yard reception from Mitchell Trubisky in a 48–10 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.[92] The next week, he scored again against the Miami Dolphins on a 12-yard catch as part of a 64-yard performance on five receptions in the 31–28 overtime loss.[93] In Week 10, a 34–22 victory over the Detroit Lions, Robinson had six catches for 133 yards and two touchdowns.[94][95]

    Robinson finished the 2018 season with 55 catches for 754 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns. He received an overall grade of 77.7 from Pro Football Focus in 2018, which ranked as the 28th highest grade among all qualifying wide receivers.[96] In his postseason debut, a 16–15 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card Round, Robinson set two postseason franchise records: 10 receptions, which tied with Matt Forte, and 143 receiving yards.[97][98]

    The strangest thing about the Rams signing Allen Robinson is that it takes away a comp pick. Shows how much they think of A-Rob as a player.

    It’s hard to say right now what the weak links are. It’s hard to say because the Rams drafting and position coaching is so good, players just emerge. So among all the replacements moving up the ranks, we honestly don’t know who to count on or who only looks good on paper and who will surprise. This last year alone Scott, Jones, Gaines, Robinson, Allen, Noteboom, Blanton, Michel, and even Kupp in his own much more elevated way came through and surprised. If I wrote before the season started that all those players would come through (with Kupp at an especially high level even compared to his past) people would think I was crazy.

    We don’t know if Stafford’s bad games in 2021 just mean he needs to settle in and be more familiar with the system.

    On paper they need:

    a CB to step up

    the safeties to stay healthy (though Scott & Fuller is a promising combo)

    Jones to stay healthy

    Hollins to return at OLB and be decent

    Noteboom to come through (though he looked good when he played)

    a guard to emerge (and they do have candidates, including a really surprising one–Jackson)

    TEs to stay healthy (though they seem to be stocked?!)

    Woods to return, so they have more than just Kupp…maybe if he is affordable, OBJ for late in thre year?

    to have healthy RBs all year

    On Miller–I didn’t expect him to sign. Rams don’t have the money. I don’t like the “rental” aspect of it, but it helped them win a superbowl, and the Rams do draft well in lower rounds. So maybe it balances out.

    More details on Von Miller’s contract with the Bills, per source: Miller will earn an average of $17.5M through three seasons ($52.5M total), most of which is guaranteed. Nothing guaranteed after the third year.

    The media seems to have morphed from pipeline of BS to generator of BS. The media itself is doctoring photos and videos, and so on.

    According to the press accounts I have seen about this issue, that’s not true.

    Whitworth retires (expected) Hekker released (not shocked), Reeder not tendered (expected), Signed elsewhere: Corbett (expected, Joseph-Day (expected), Okoronkwo (kinda surprising), Williams (expected), Miller (shocking). That’s quite a few impact players that will need replacing

    Will the Rams get some criticism for giving up a 2nd and 3rd round pick for half a season of Von Miller? But what would you trade for a Lombardi trophy.
    you don’t “replace” Von Miller. Justin Hollins was playing very well before his injury early in the year. Terrell Lewis will get an opportunity. Don’t sleep on Chris Garrett. Obviously they’ll look at the draft as well.

    am skeptical that that kind of result can be duplicated.

    They already have duplicated it. Looking at 2019-2020, they are one of the best drafting teams in the league. This is cemented by 3 picks in a row in 2019–rounds 5 through 7. If nothing else they are drafting in the lower rounds better than they ever have in their entire history (that’s not hyperbole).

    Key:
    red for solid to very good starter
    blue for developing contributor who has come through
    italics for players who have shown something but it is too soon to say, or has good buzz and good promise

    2020 2 Cam Akers
    2020 2 Van Jefferson
    2020 3 Terrell Lewis
    2020 3 Terrell Burgess
    2020 4 Brycen Hopkins
    2020 6 Jordan Fuller
    2020 7 Clay Johnston
    2020 7 Sam Sloman
    2020 7 Tremayne Anchrum

    2019 2 Taylor Rapp
    2019 3 Darrell Henderson
    2019 3 David Long
    2019 3 Bobby Evans
    2019 4 Greg Gaines
    2019 5 David Edwards
    2019 7 Nick Scott
    2019 7 Dakota Allen

    Counting just blue and red picks as hits, that’s x hits out of 17 picks. A hit rate of 47%, which is absolutely golden. All this without a 1st rounder.  If you count only starters, so red picks, it’s 6 of 17, which is 35%. That’s above the average for lower round picks.

    Reported last week and here that ILB Travin Howard would receive a tender from the Rams. It’s an original-round tender, per source. Howard was a seventh-round pick in 2018. Rams also sent an original-round tender to Matt Gay and extended would-be RFA OL Coleman Shelton.

    So do the Rams have 2 third-round picks? w v

    from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2022/03/15/rams-nfl-draft-compensatory-picks-2022-list/?taid=6231991e91bc6a00016f5a05&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

    The Rams’ third-rounder was thanks to Brad Holmes being hired as the Lions’ GM last year, which was part of the NFL’s minority hiring initiative that awards teams a third-round compensatory pick in consecutive years for another team hiring an executive or coach as its head coach or GM.

    That third-rounder will be their first pick in the draft, coming at No. 104 overall. If not for that selection, their first pick would’ve been at No. 142 overall.

    The other comp picks were from the losses of Samson Ebukam, Gerald Everett, Morgan Fox, Troy Hill and John Johnson.

    In total, the Rams have one third-rounder, one fourth-rounder, one fifth-rounder, three sixth-rounders and two picks in the seventh round.

    Noteboom’s contract. 

    Notice that they gave him a big signing bonus then stretched it out with 2 void years. So they gave him a low cap number for 2022 (3.5 M) with a low salary (1.5 M), but also gave him 10 M in bonus money.  He does not become a real cap hit until 2023. When he does get a real cap hit in 23, it’s very reasonable for a starting LOT (15.5 M).

    I was discussing this with my son on Sunday. My “sense” is that we used to be able to more-or-less believe that the media gave us facts, although they would frame the facts to represent the interest of the elite class. There has always been disinformation, but I used to believe that for the most part, we were given facts. The trick was to perceive the framing at work around those facts. Now, MSM makes shit up themselves. It used to be just the corps and the gov’t engaged in disinformation. Now the media is making shit up.

     

    I disagree though not in a major way. Back when the invasion of Iraq was building up, it was possible to debunk major narratives justifying it, such as the claim the WMD were likely to exist in Iraq. The MSM was not pushing that counter-narrative. Yet we (quite correctly) deduced that the dominant narrative did not hold up and that the opposite was far more likely.

    You can find things out, but you can’t do it alone and you need to know how to find sources that are not just in the media, meaning either the MSM or the “alternatives.” Sometimes it’s not a matter of finding “facts” but of finding which narratives stand up better to scrutiny.

    Sometimes you don’t get enough to know. Sometimes you get enough to make analysis possible.
